Or, you could just live and let live, respect each other’s choices. Some things don’t need to be said, spiteful glee at others problems is unnecessary and not a particularly nice human trait. It’s quite easy to be pleased for and with other people’s good news/purchases/achievements, but sadly far too often on this forum I see spite and glee from others misfortune and choices, certainly not all members, but certainly from some.
Someone moves on to a KTM/BMW, you can almost feel that some are just waiting to express their smugness, if and when there’s a problem.
You know those Harley owners that cannot and will not see beyond their chosen brand, rubbishing everything else along the way..............................
One thing that is hard to read in typed words is an emotional reaction expressed. I actually find it sad and am genuinely bummed out with someone plunking down a big chunk of money for a nice bike only to have issues with it and being left stranded.
I was laughed at for even thinking about doing an Iron Butt on my Beta dirt bike. The very next few days at very same turn around place a KTM 690 barely broken in left a rider stranded with a fuel pump failure. Believe me that is not a laughable matter. 12,000.00 bike not even due for it's first oil change and quit running. Not good at all!!
The OP and myself are both former Super Tenere owners. I don't think any BMW owners have showed up just to trash talk the S10. I have not trashed talked the S10 as I think it is, in general, an excellent bike.
BMAC, I wish you many trouble free and enjoyable miles on your BMW GS. It works for you and that's what matters. You did your research and I'm sure you know all the pros and cons of the bike. Heck man, I trash talk any bike that does no suit my needs or has an issue. Super Tenere included. It's good for riders to have choices. I even have a few riding buddies who own and enjoy their BMW's.
BMW started this "Adventure Riding" craze. In the 90's "Turbo" was the buzz word connected to every product available. Today "Adventure" is the word attached to everything.
I shopped around and saved from 2013 to 2018 to get the bike that was a good fit for me. I test rode a bunch of different brands and decided that the Yamaha was the best bike for the type of riding I do. The BMW GS, KTM 190/1190/1290, Ducati Enduro, and Triumph did not fit my reliability, comfort, or handling I was looking for. Every single one of those brands have issues I'm not willing to live with.
Lets face it, the Super Tenere is a very small market in the big adventure bike segment. I'm willing to bet that that BMW will continue producing and refining the GS long after Super Tenere is discontinued.
But, that doesn't mean we're going to act it.
